Who we are
The apex body of West Bengal's voluntary blood donation movement
Established in 2023 and registered under the Trust Act and the Government of India's NGO Darpan, WBVBDS is a collaborative network connecting voluntary blood donor organisations, camp organisers and compassionate citizens throughout West Bengal. We are recognised by the National Blood Transfusion Council (NBTC) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
Our constitution and framework were formally adopted in March 2024 at the 1st State Conference in Bardhaman, and revised in January 2026 at the 3rd State Conference in Sagardighi, Murshidabad.
